Graham McTavish Rocks!!!!

Seriously, I don’t think he has any idea how much a few of us fangirls are squeeing right now!

Six to go!

Dwarves sure do love their plaid, especially in red.

Zan, I blame you for my interest in this! 😉 We’ve been searching for pictures of the actors who play dwarves in The Hobbit wearing red plaid. It started with Dean, Aidan and Adam. Then we saw the pic of Richard. William was wearing his plaid when the cast exited the Hobbit plane in NZ. And I have no idea where James was, but he’s also wearing a red plaid shirt in one of the vlogs. So to date we’ve spotted 6 of the 13. Perhaps it is the dwarf uniform. 😉

And now we’ve taken to Twitter to ask Jed Brophy, Graham McTavish and Stephen Hunter about their red plaid wearing habits. So far we’ve heard back from two of them!

@msgigglepants @JasRangoon @BrophyJed @grahammctavish I have green? I'll buy a red one when I get back to NZ…

Isn’t he a sweetie!!!

“@RA_z13: @grahammctavish Hi! Have you ever worn a red plaid shirt? Working on a little project and was wondering. :)”Yes, I own one!

Maybe we’ll get the chance to expand the graphic some more. *Fingers crossed* 🙂

Add another addiction to the list…

…because I love me some Hobbit, Bagginshield and Durincest fanfic of the hot and NSFW variety. I was chatting with some friends about the possibility of posting links to some of my favorite fics and then today Agzy said she had thought about doing the same. That gave me the push I needed to go ahead and do this post.

Here is the deal, I know that there are people in our fandom who dislike the erotic fics. There are also people who despise real people fics. Then there is the issue of slash fics. I’ll tell you right now that this post is NOT for you if you fall into any of those categories. If you don’t like the stuff, just move along.

So with that warning in place, here are some of the fics that I’ve enjoyed recently (by no means a comprehensive list):

Bagginshield:

1. Leather and Rope by SplashTheWine–Bilbo wasn’t sure when things had changed, when things had shifted from flirting to where he was now… Bound and terrified. #NSFW #Slash #Non-Con at first
2. The Heart of a King by shinigami714–After leaving the goblin cave, Bilbo doesn’t remove the ring from his finger, unaware of its powers. Thorin’s company doesn’t see his return, and Bilbo watches as they discuss his abandonment of them. #NSFW #Slash
3. The Tenderness of a King by shinigami714–Fili and Kili out Bilbo as a virgin embarrassing him in front of the other dwarves. One dwarf intends to rectify the situation. #NSFW #Slash
4. The Voice of a King by shinigami714–Thorin can’t seem to hold himself back after Bilbo has a near death experience. Bilbo doesn’t seem to mind. #NSFW Slash
5. We’ll Have to be Gentle by ThorinOakenshield (Jensensational)–In which Bilbo is ready for another bout, but is sore from the previous round. So Thorin decides to be as gentle as possible. #NSFW #Slash
6. My Treasure by Stravaganza–After the defeat of Smaug, possessive! Thorin has his way with Bilbo… on top of all of that gold. #NSFW #Slash
7. The Curious Nature of Hobbits by Eshli–Bilbo has made the strangest thing that any of the dwarves have ever seen. None of them understand what it is. Thorin in particular is curious as to what a hobbit would possibly use an eight-inch cylindrical piece of polished wood for. #NSFW

Durincest:

1. Dirty Talk by ferowyn–Bilbo walks in on Fili and Kili who are having a very informative conversation. #NSFW #Slash
2. Silver Tongue by twodwarves_oneeagle–After Thorin accidentally walks in on Fili and Kili together, it leaves some interesting prospectives in its wake. #NSFW #Slash

Hobbit Cast RPF:

1. Post-Premiere Relaxation Manual by waves-of-sorrow–In which Richard is tense and Cate helps him relax. #NSFW
2. Methods of Persuasion by waves-of-sorrow–In which Martin is grumpy and anti-social and Richard attempts (and fails) to make him go out with the rest of the cast. #NSFW #Slash
3. Don’t Care Who’s Watching by brodinsons (aeon_entwined)–Aidan and Dean don’t care who’s watching, which gets them into an interesting situation with Richard. #NSFW #Slash
4. Untitled by Traveller–“Just get rid of this fucking thing,” Richard says, scratching at the beard.”
5. The Barber by FoxRafer–Aidan Turner cleans up Richard’s shaggy hair. #Slash

Apparently there is a press conference going on.

If Martin Freeman wants the quiet life he's "f*cked"! Getting us giggling at #TheHobbit presser . http://t.co/njMrIV7X

He’s rocking another great shirt. And I love the vest and tie! For a more close up look:

If only all in-flight safety vids were like this…

…I’d actually pay attention for once!

I especially love the cameos. 🙂

Update: Okay, I was a little slow and just saw this. But there is a chance to win a trip to New Zealand tied in with the video. On the off chance you haven’t already seen it, go here.

Hobbit Trailer #2!!!! And Gifs, ’cause that’s how I roll.

Unless you live under a rock, or live somewhere where the new trailer came out while you were sleeping, you’ve seen this by now.

I really am a squeeing fool today! The trailer was awesome. We got to see a lot of new things AND the voice!!! Love the voice, I could listen to it all day long!

Okay, onto the gifs. I made a lot, because well, the trailer was awesome.

The Map

Gotta love some running dwarves…Thorin in particular!

And the dwarves begin to arrive.

These look like a fun lot to hang around!

Yeah, this one’s here just because Thorin is so pretty.

So kingly!

The Shire is so beautiful…and Bilbo’s off on an adventure.

I’m still curious to see how Galadriel fits in, but she looks stunning as does Rivendell.

The trolls have always been one of my favorite parts of the book!

Thorin being his haughty self.

Radagast and his bunny sled…lol!

Riddles in the dark!!!

Don’t think I’d want to encounter these wolves.

Bilbo stew anyone?

Yeah, Thorin just looks like a badass here!

Even more of a badass!

I love the humor and can I just say…ouch!

If you haven’t been here yet, there are extra snippets in each trailer.

Bilbo receives the contract.

I’d probably faint if I was contemplating being burned to ashes by Smaug too.
